Looks like the feet are a complete mess, which is pretty standard for recent GW releases.

No, pretty sure that's a Mantic issue . Feet and legs are fine IMO.

DINLT: Red and brass is Khorne. Red and gold is Magnus' Legion heraldry. He's also a Daemon of Tzeentch, so he can be whatever colour you like really.
He's still a Cyclops. Though not in the traditional sense.

How is that a bad thing? He looks awesome!

Looks decent enough, but any wild guesses on how much it would cost, if legit? I don't know how much the FW primarchs are, but I've a feeling they're going to milk their first plastic primarch demon prince for all it's worth.

First guess would be maybe 60/75?

I want him to have blue skin, nevermind he's called Magnus the Red. Tzeentch is blue!

I should also point out that he has PINK horrors. Which is effectively a shade of red.

Tzeentch is the God of Change... so any colour can be Tzeentch.

Meeeh, truly not the model I was hoping for for the Thousand Sons centerpiece.

He's a Daemon-Primarch. Not sure how you can get more of a centerpiece than that lol.

lol@ "Not Bjorn" the Fell handed

It's not Bjorn. He takes his claw from the Master of the Forge on Fenris later. Bjorn is however, part of the honour guard when they go trash Prospero.

Magnus is a nice model, but for the chest horns. And that horrid head. They could have gone with pharaohs headress, AKA
Tutankhamun headress.

Except that's never been Magnus' look. He looks fine as is.

Wasn't the point of the Rubric to stop all mutations for the few remaining thousand sons that didn't turn into caskets? Or I guess they could still receive demonic gifts from their patron?

The guys with half-decent psyker mojo didn't get Rubric'd but the weaker ones did. Plus, it's possible that they've been able to replicate more gene-seed to implant in new recruits.

Who is the other Thousand Sons sorcerer in that video? ie the one Ahriman is talking to at the beginning.

Let's bring ALL the shiny dolly pics here, shall we? Feels like the TS tactical squad will be very burny... Look at all the flame weapons!

I might just pick up 2 boxes of rubrics and use my 30k ahriman.

Unless these new boxes are £52 each.

There's a new 40K Ahriman being revealed later today...

We’ll be back later today with a close-up look at the new Ahriman model…

Mutated TS Sorcerers? But the Rubric...

They can still receive "gifts" from the Chaos gods, though. Not all mutations are involuntary.

 lord_blackfang wrote:
So is Ahriman now the first named character who has 2 different plastic models?

I can't think of any others at the moment. Though it technically doesn't count, since 30K and 40K are two different things.

I wonder if there is going to be any vehicles, not looking like it right now.

GW have said there's more to come than just those models. Just wait and see how this plays out.

Better shots of Ahriman . Available for pre-order 03/12/16

Does Ahriman have command of the Thousand Sons now

or is Magnus still in charge?

Magnus is the Primarch so... Ahriman does as he's told for now lol.

Does anyone feel that it seems too soon that Magnus is forgiving Ahriman

10,000 years+ change is a lonnng time.

Some tidbits from the Warhammer Community site today:

Some sculptor's notes on the new Ahriman model from the Warhammer Community website.

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2016/11/22/ahriman-unpainted/

Magnus seems pretty badass . I like his stats. With a 4++ and being able to fly he should be able to get around without too much trouble.

LOL.

LightKing wrote:


that seems quite lazy to be honest that GW shares characters for both universes

Lazy? Possibly. It's not a bad idea though if it generates more sales for the range. 40k is all about the mutants and whatnot anyway, so it's nice they're bringing back some variety to CSM forces.

I thought Mat Ward left GW, is he still in charge of the fluff?

He works there on a freelance consultant basis. Not on the books.
